  Single Bottom Line Sustainability
Carbon Accounting For Business
  Ecos submission to the Garnaut Review on Climate Change and the Agricultural & Forestry Sector
  Presentation to Australian Carbon Trading Expo 29/4/2008

 

As thought-leaders in their area, the Ecos team has pioneered a principle of ‘single bottom line sustainability’, a seminal analysis that distances Ecos from the ideas of corporate social responsibility and a ‘triple bottom line’, instead seeking to incorporate social and environmental factors into core business. Only with a holistic interpretation of sustainability and its incorporation into a business can companies become truly sustainable enterprises and take credible leadership.

OUR APPROACH

Ecos operates to drive positive social and environmental change through the economy by working with companies from across the economy including agriculture, finance, insurance, manufacturing, mining and energy, and fast-moving consumer goods and retail.

Our commitment to change is informed by our belief in:

  • Harnessing capitalism - the transformative power of markets, and the ingenuity and can-do attitude of business
  • Creating ‘success models’ among businesses of all sizes to illustrate ‘sustainable growth’
  • Aligning the creation of more shareholder value with the delivery of more societal value, thus promoting support from society for business
  • Responding to a looming period of discontinuous change - that is being triggered by human-induced global warming and wider environmental overload - with new thinking and entrepreneurial flare.

Our clients range from companies seeking simply to understand sustainability in their industries, or seeking early assessments of risks and opportunities, to those that wish to be recognised internally and externally as business leaders on sustainability in their sectors.
